This can come in handy if you have something like plastic tubing that’s profile can distort after you bend it. In contrast, the Keep normal constant makes the profile normal to itself. This means if you look at a cross section normal to the path anywhere, the profile will be constant. To summarize, when the Follow Path option is used the profile will be normal to the path. These are 2 of the Orientation/twist types under the Options pane in the Properties Manager when creating your sweep. The first thing I want to focus on is the difference between Follow Path and Keep normal constant. Since I’m sure you’ve mastered this, let’s move on to some more advanced sweep feature functions. I will be focusing on the swept boss/base feature, but this can also apply to a swept cut. If you have been paying attention to my blogs (it’s okay if you haven’t), you’ll recall that I wrote an article on the basics of creating a sweep in SOLIDWORKS.
